China helping Russia’s ‘most ambitious’ war machine expansion since USSR: Some 90 per cent of Russia’s microelectronics and machine tools used to produce ...
smh.com.au/world/asia/china-helping-russia-s-most-ambitious-war-machine-expansion-since-ussr-20240413-p5fjjo.html
Quick Glance: China Supports Russia in Weapons Manufacturing with Impact on Ukraine
- China is aiding Russia in significantly expanding its defense industrial base, leading to the most ambitious military manufacturing since the Soviet era. The support includes a variety of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines, as well as technologies for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose used in weapons propellant. Chinese and Russian entities are also collaborating on drone production in Russia.
- The assistance from China is significantly influencing Russia's ability to continue its assault on Ukraine, while Ukraine's military struggles with equipment shortages, exacerbated by Republicans blocking a vote on new American military aid. US officials attribute Russia's rapid military build-up largely to Chinese support, with China accounting for 90% of Russia's microelectronics imports in 2023.
- President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have raised concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base and are trying to persuade China to cease this practice. Pressure on China continues to ensure that companies do not provide support to the Russian defense sector, which could have significant consequences.
- China is assisting Russia in enhancing its satellite and space capabilities for use in Ukraine. The US is actively engaging with banks worldwide to establish compliance systems to avoid inadvertent involvement in supporting the Russian defense industrial base, which would result in sanctions. Efforts to convince China to halt this support are ongoing to prevent further bolstering of Russia's military capabilities.
